 Good price and delivery by Vanns August 8, 2007
Chris Broderick (portland, oregon)
Normally, I would have picked up this receiver at a local component store, but Vanns price on Amazon was much less. I've never purchased anything from Vanns but they are an authorized Yamaha dealer and they have solid customer reviews across the board. I can see why. The receiver arrived in two days and there was no shipping charge. Admittedly, I am in Oregon and Vanns is in Montana, but it's still impressive. The receiver is my second Yamaha home theater receiver with more power and features than my earlier one. Sounds great, of course, and delivers the goods in terms of power, functions, 6.1 separation and overall quality. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an HDMI input. Receivers with HDMI cost a lot more, which I don't understand given it will be the high-def industry standard in the near future. But for me it isn't worth the extra money at this point, so I went with this unit.
 So far awesome ! Shipped next day by OneCall! May 1, 2007

Delivery by OneCall was fantastic !! It was shipped the next day and I got the system the next day. br / br /Sounds incredible so far. br /The only problem I found is, if, for some reason, the system cannot decode the DVD audio, it does not switch the Input mode to 'Analog'. Hence, no audio signals are outputted. You have to manually switch the Input mode to 'Analog' from 'Auto' to get the audio in analog mode.
Classic Yamaha Sound March 26, 2007

I purchased this unit a little over a month ago, and am very please with the performance and features that it has. In any setup, your speakers will have the biggest impact on the sound, but having a good quality surround receiver with minimal amplifier distortion makes a big difference as well. This receiver not only delivers beautiful surround sound for movies, but Yamaha goes the extra mile to provide DSP settings to enhance music listening enjoyment as well. br / br /The setup of the receiver is actually pretty intuitive, and the menus are easy to navigate. The only thing this is missing that the more expensive Yamaha models have, is the automatic sound setup that uses a microphone which connects to the receiver. Those reveiver then calibrate all the speakers automatically for you. Forthis model, you still need to sit in your listening position and manually tweek the speaker settings (if you are not happy with the simple room size defaults). Not a big deal, just thought it was worth mentioning. br / br /About the only thing I am not crazy about, is the typical Yamaha brick remote. It seems that Yamaha spends all its research and development money on DSPs and sound field processing software (which is a very good thing), but spends very little on remote control ergonomics design. The remote is fully functional and programmable, it's just clunky in design and feel. I guess Yamaha figures that most people only use their remote for initial setup, and then use a good universal remote for normal daily use. br / br / br /All in all, for the price that Amazon currently has this unit listed for, you really can't beat it. So if you are looking for a 6.1 system, this is a great choice.

I was tired of not having surround sound to go along with my hdtv, so I needed a cheap system to last me until HDMI 1.3 is implemented, when i will overhaul my entire setup...tv, receiver, speakers, sub, etc... br /I bought this receiver to go along with some Klipsch speakers and a Klipsch Sub about 4 months ago. When I got everything home and hooked it up, it soudned ok I guess. After going through a bit of a setup it did sound better.The auto setup on this device isn't the greatest...However, if you are enough of an audiophile to adjust this thing on your own, you can change that very easily. Now this thing sounds amazing. Great base, awe-inspiring surround sound quality, sports (esepcially football and college basketball on CBS), the xbox 360, and my XM sounds brilliant on here. I could not be happier with my purchase. br / br /If you want a powerful receiver that sounds great (use only the optical inputs) and does not hurt the wallet too much, this is the way to go.
